You are using the bitmapped fonts. You need to specifically say to use the postscript fonts.
Use dvips <file.dvi> -Pcmz -o <file.ps>
I use emacs and select command->other to input this, rather than the normal options
There are some issues I have with whether this embeds the fonts in the file or not.

Subject: [MiKTeX] Computer Modern font in PDF
When I use the standard Computer Modern font and either pdflatex or
dvipdfm the resulting PDF file has a very poor resolution on screen,
although not on print-outs. Other fonts yield excellent results. Can
anyone solve this problem?

Hi Julian,
this is what I do:
C:\texmf\miktex\bin\texify.exe --run-viewer %p%n%e=20
You can check in the Manual the "advantages" of using "texify.exe --run-
viewer" instead of "latex.exe": basically you don't need to re-run=20
latex in order to resolve all the cross-references (the program do it=20
for you) and when the file is compiled the Yap viewer is directly=20
launched.
I recommend you including the full path to the executable LaTeX file=20
(latex.exe, or texify.exe in this case).
As you probably know in Ultraedit "%p%n%e" means the path, the name and=20
the extension.
I hope this helps you. Best regards,
Pedro.

Did you install the cm-super fonts? They are Type1 and are embedded
in PDF as such (not as Type42).
Kind regards

Hi,
I'm trying to configure UltraEdit 10 to work with Miktex on Win98. I'm
new to both programs. Can someone please tell me *exactly* what
information I need to put in the command line of the configuration tool.
I have tried everything I can think of but nothing works. The Miktex
compiler is latex.exe, right?

I meant to write: 'when I use pdflatex'
Jesper

Using the package rotating I want to display some text in tabular
environment rotated 90 degrees. While the rotated text shows correctly
when I use dvipdfm, the DVI file just writes the text horisontally but
narrows the table columns as if the text were written vertically. Do I
have to include some special DVI codes in my document to produce the
correct result? It is not just YAP that is the problem, because the
problem remains on print-out, just as the PDF document prints correctly.

OK, continuing my search I found eso-pic.sty
in the FAQ
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=watermark
This is the first package I've needed that was
not included in my MikTeX installation, so I
made my first use of the package manager to get
a new package.
WHAT AN INCREDIBLE FEATURE!!!
Simple, fast and flawless.
I found eso-pic to work flawlessly in the dvipdfm
output, but the yap viewer again had serious troubles:
there (unscaled, unrotated) text was place *on top*
of the document text. Maybe I am not setting some
option?
Thanks,
Alan Isaac
PS I should mention that I have ugly overwrite trouble with
the yap display for the watermark package only if I use it
to include an EPS figure. If I strictly use the LaTeX
picture environment with no graphics inclusion, I get NO
watermark displayed at all, but it shows up correcty in the
dvipdfm output.

Hi people!
I get the following error when compiling a simple LaTeX document with the
portuguese:
"Warning: pdflatex (file psfonts.map):cannot open map file"
and
"Warning: pdflatex (file ecrm1000):Font ecrm1000 at 600 not found"
Where can I get these files?
Thanks
